PORTER, IN — A body discovered in a lake Sunday by a fisherman in Indiana has prompted an investigation by Indiana State Police and the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office, according to a press release issued around 2:30 p.m. by the sheriff's office.

The identity of the deceased is unknown at this time, the release states.

The body was found in Lake Charles in Porter, Ind., police said. On Jan. 23, state police, as well as the FBI and investigators from the Kalamazoo
County and Washtenaw County sheriff’s offices took part in a search at the lake for missing Kalamazoo Dr. Teleka Patrick, but found no clues relating to her disappearance.

The press release was issued under the authority of Sheriff's office Detective William Sparrow, who has been the lead investigator in Patrick's disappearance.

Patrick was last seen on Dec. 5, 2013. A working theory among police is that Patrick suffered a mental
breakdown that night and may have been headed to a relative’s home in
suburban Chicago when her car went off the road in Indiana.

The Sheriff's office said it has no further comments to add at this time.
